What this research studies
The Core will create ways for researchers and diverse community stakeholders to cocreate climate-health research outputs that support policy and action. It acts as a bridge between university investigators and end-user communities, helping translate study results into practical changes. Through codesign and engagement activities, the Core aims to build trust, speed up implementation, and ensure projects reflect community needs. It will involve investigator projects, pilot efforts, and student fellowships to strengthen collaboration.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, communities could see research translated into better climate-related health policies and programs.
How similar studies have gone: Previous community-engagement efforts in health research have shown that codesign approaches improve relevance and uptake of findings.
